Heart Attack Warning Signs for Men

The most common signs of heart attack for men include:

•  Chest discomfort that lasts more than a few minutes in the center of the chest

•  Discomfort in other areas of the upper body

•  Shortness of breath.

•  Breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea, or lightheadedness

If any of these symptoms occur, call 9-1-1. Emergency Medical Services (EMS) providers can transmit 12-lead EKGs to Clear Lake Regional Medical Center's Emergency Room, alerting the heart attack team of the patient's impending arrival.
